What to do with ashes?

We understand how important it is for you to do right by your loved ones when choosing a final resting place for their ashes. Time needs to be taken to reflect on the choices available and to make the right decision for you and your family. We’re here to help and guide you with that decision and to explain all of the options you have.

We have a carefully chosen range including caskets and urns for burial of ashes, containers for scattering ashes, and urns and keepsakes for keeping ashes at home.

We also have a choice of jewellery. You may wish to keep a small amount of ashes for a keepsake and choose to inter or scatter the remainder.

You can download our Memories brochure below which covers different options that you can take, including:

For Burial

For many, the way to say farewell to a loved one is by burying the ashes in a special or respectful location, perhaps accompanied by a ceremony where everyone can join together. Many items in our range of caskets and urns for burial have been created to have no lasting impact on the environment.

We have a range of options from traditional wooden caskets, picture caskets, and a range of alternative urns made of a variety of materials.

At Home

For some, keeping the ashes of a loved one close, at home where they belong, can bring great comfortand reassurance.

Our range contains a selection of beautiful caskets and urns for keeping a loved one’s ashes at home.

Keepsakes

You may want to give small keepsakes to family and friends so that they too will have a special remembrance of the person they love. All of the keepsakes in the range are designed to contain a small quantity of ashes.

We have heart keepsakes handcrafted in a range of materials and a range of mini urns suitable for the home.

In the Garden

Statues and urns in natural materials can be displayed outdoors in the garden as a fitting tribute to your loved one.

For Scattering

Maybe you would prefer to have the ashes scattered at the crematorium, or scatter them at a place that had special meaning for your loved one.

Our range is designed to release the ashes with ease, ensuring a simple and respectful occasion.
